IVF Support: Investing in Your Life Choices

IVF Support, Acupuncture Clinic, Worthing and Hove

IVF can be a challenge emotionally and physically. Acupuncture is a proven, valuable tool for many people and couples throughout the IVF process. My advanced fertility training can help me assist with your choices and enables me to fully support you according to the type of treatment you are considering or undergoing.

You are investing a lot in both your life choices and your body and mental health. I understand this so I’m here to support you and help it go as smoothly as possible. Treatment is not just about acupuncture, it’s looking at the wider issues such as diet, lifestyle and stress levels, which can all impact on sperm and egg quality.

Sperm quality is often overlooked and men can benefit from using acupuncture prior to, and during, IVF – particularly if they have high stress levels or diagnosed male factor infertility. 

It can be advantageous for couples trying to conceive for them both to receive acupuncture – it gives an opportunity for them to be involved in the process together and encourages relaxation during a stressful time.

I recommend starting acupuncture ideally 3 - 6 months before your IVF journey. We know that the egg and sperm cycles take this long and it gives time to import their quality to be their best. But, it is still ok and can help you no matter what stage you come for acupuncture.

Need some support? Simply book a consultation and I’ll be happy to help you.
